Property values can be affected by a number of factors including, inter alia, economic climate, property market conditions, interest rates, and regulation.

Alternatives: Alternative investments may engage in speculative investment practices; involve a high degree of risk; and are generally considered to be illiquid due to restrictions on transferring interests.
